Unfortunately, there is not enough information. Do you mean that you favorably reacted to 100 in that there is no muscle function, or do you mean you had an ill reaction to the Botox? If you had a favorable response and your doctor suggests you get more, then are they referring to other areas?

This is a very nonspecific question.

Obviously your doctor believes you need additional treatment. However without any clinical specifics it is impossible to formulate an opinion for why this might be. Consider reposting with more information. Why are you getting BOTOX? Is this the first time you have gotten BOTOX? Is this the first time you have worked with this physician?
